This wide angle lens for Fuji X series interchangeable lens cameras provides a field of view equivalent to a 35mm lens on a 35mm camera, sports a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture and costs around £780.

With a very even and impressive performance, weather resistance, great handling and high-quality finish it would be hard not to like this Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2 R WR lens. The Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2 R WR is an ideal standard lens for the range of Fujifilm cameras.

The Fujinon XF 23 mm f/1.4 R, tested here by us, must get a really positive assessment. Still the situation is hardly so rosy if you start comparing the price of that lens to the prices of its rivals.

The Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R is a highly attractive addition to the Fujifilm lens lineup. It combines an ultra-large aperture with high quality results. At large aperture settings the center quality is already pretty high whereas the borders/corners are at least on a good level.

Sporting the same field of view as a 35mm lens does on a 35mm camera, this lens should be a popular choice for the wish list of many Fuji X-series camera owners, especially with that fast f/1.4 maximum aperture.

Not as sharp towards the edges of the frame at maximum aperture as you may expect

Just came back from weeklong trip along California Coast, where newly bought Fujifilm 23mm f/2 WR was used to take over 50% of my pictures. It seem to be ideal for street and casual photography, where small size and fast focusing is a definitely a great benefit.

Incredibly sharp at all apertures with Max sharpness at 5.6. Great micro contrast, color reproduction, bokeh is just divine for being a 23mm. AF is fast and accurate, not to loud but not silent either. Size is great for big hands like mine.

This is a must have lens. . . It's small, and well built, and weather resistant. The only thing I have noticed is that when I use the lens wide open, at F/2, in higher contrast situations it tends to have a flare around the edges of high contrast elements in the photo, not appealing.

I'm not a professional photographer, but certainly more than an enthusiast. I just converted to the Fuji X-T2 from many years with Canon film and digital.When the reviews say this is a quiet lens, it means s-i-l-e-n-t. My Canon lenses all made that zzzzt, zzzzt noise when focusing.

I bought this lens for general use when traveling or just taking photos of friends and family. It offers a moderately wide field of view for capturing locations during travel but you get cab get in close to fill the frame for more focus on a single subject .

This is a really outstanding lens. It's very sharp, compact, well made, and has seemingly instant and silent focus. It looks and feels very well made. Not tested its water resistant qualities. Can't think that the 1.4 is any better and what you gain there (at cost) you lose in handling.

An all around great lens that lives up the hype. Very compact and razor sharp! Highly recommend!

This lens is simlpy brilliant. So small and compact, fast autofocus, easy to use, with nice weighted aperture ring. Not tried the f1.4 but don't want to, f2 on a XT1 with such good noise control means that if you have to up the ISO you can't tell.

I built my photography portfolio on a 50mm and knew upgrading was key. I LOVE Fuji and couldn't be more happy with the purchase!
